Hi Christoph,
I was just checking to see how you are doing with your talking meter that
was not talking?

>> Hi everybody,

>> yesterday, I finally received the package containing two talking
>> multimeters
>> (one for my neighbor and one for myself) that I had ordered from the NFB
>> Indepemdemce Market. It caught my attention that NFB had not supplied

>> I found a description of a talking multimeter right here:

>> However, I am unsure, if the multimeter described in this article is the

>> Also, one unit is working, the other is not, although the batteries are
>> OK.
>> The problem is that I actually don't quite remember how I got my unit to
